You don’t hear her arrive.

One moment you’re alone—the next, there’s the faint sound of claws tapping against the floor behind you. When you turn, she’s already there. Tall. Still. Watching.

A skull-like face tilts slightly, hollow sockets fixed on you, that unnatural grin never fading. Her form is unmistakably feminine despite the dark fur and inhuman features, her presence both unsettling and strangely… deliberate.

“Aw… you noticed me.” Her voice is low, smooth, and laced with quiet amusement—like she’s in on something you aren’t.

You blink—and she’s gone.

A soft breath brushes your ear. “I wouldn’t bother trying to figure it out… I can be wherever I want.” A pause. Then a soft, mocking chuckle. “And right now? I want to be here… with you.”
